ComBase overview

What is ComBase?

ComBase is a fully managed community platform built for software, SaaS and technology companies. It lets you launch a branded customer or developer community — on your own domain — without engineers, servers or plugins. If you currently run your community on Discord, Slack, a subreddit or a self-hosted forum, ComBase gives you a faster, better-looking home that you fully control.

Discussions & live feed. Forums and sub-forums, rich-text threads and replies, reactions, tags and filtering, plus a live feed sorted by Latest, Hot or Top. Highlighted and pinned threads keep the important stuff visible.

Knowledge base & pages. A nested pages-and-wiki CMS with a rich editor for docs, guides and rules, plus external-link pages. Every resolved question becomes searchable content, so your team answers once and customers self-serve after that.

Full-text search. Fast search across every thread, post and page — on its own page or in the header — so answers are found, not re-asked.

Branding & customization. One brand color flows through the entire site. Set your logo and favicon, choose body and wordmark fonts, control layout, density and corner radius, switch light/dark (or let members choose), and arrange navigation with a visual editor. No CSS required.

Members, ranks & roles. Public profiles with avatars and banners, automatic rank promotion as members contribute, plus groups and granular permissions and staff seats for moderators and admins.

Moderation & safety. A reports queue, pin/lock/remove content, ban and suspend members, and email verification to keep the community healthy.

SEO & discovery. Sitemaps, meta tags, Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are built in, with search-indexing controls, so your community ranks on Google out of the box. In-app and email notifications bring members back.

Access, domains & sign-in. Free yourname.getcombase.com subdomain plus a custom domain on every plan. Private and password-gated communities for internal or invite-only use. Social sign-in with Google, GitHub and X.

Ownership & data. It's your community, your members and your data. Export or leave at any time. Enterprise plans add a custom theme built by our team, a dedicated success manager and an uptime SLA.

Pricing. Flat monthly plans with no per-member fees — Starter $100/mo, Advanced $500/mo, Enterprise from $1,500/mo. Save two months on annual billing. Starter and Advanced include a 14-day free trial.
